That should work great, actually.  [And very clever. ;-) ]

Nope, it should all work smoothly, at least until you try to
authenticate.  At that point, im-user2 will be asking you to
authenticate im-user1 (since that's who the IM client thinks it's
talking to).  But of course, since you're controlling the MITM channel,
you could just authenticate Secondlife-Avy1 instead.  Or something like
that.

Will do.  Just let us know when it's ready for prime time.
